McLaren can secure its first F1 constructors’ championship since 1998 in the 2024 Qatar Grand Prix. Following its 1-2 in the Saturday sprint race, here’s what it needs to do to get the title over the line on Sunday
“McLaren is on the verge of potentially winning the 2024 Formula 1 constructors’ title at the Qatar Grand Prix, their first since 1998 with drivers Mika Hakkinen and David Coulthard. Despite a past disqualification in 2007, McLaren currently leads both Ferrari and Red Bull by significant margins after a successful Lusail sprint race. For McLaren to secure the title, they need to maintain a 45-point lead over Ferrari after Sunday’s race, or a 44-point lead if they win the Grand Prix. The team’s strong position puts them in control, and even with various scenarios involving fastest lap points, McLaren has the upper hand heading into the final rounds.”
